Hey guys,

As if I needed another reason to feel dumb...

My Blue Force Gear SOC-C Base Sling arrived today. Looks like a quality piece of work ... but I sat there (beer in hand) looking at the sling and my AR ... and didn't have a clue what to do. No instructions, nothing ... I couldn't even determine which end went where ... not to mention how to attach it. Very humiliating ... but there's sure as hell nothing intuitive about the damned thing.

Any suggestions?

Was I supposed to buy extra mounting hardware?

I use BFG slings in tandem with a daniel defense ambi single point sling mount, as you can see in the pictures below the adapter is connected to the rifle, you may need different adapter to suit your needs in the single point roll. if your going 2 or 3 point then you need different again :)

Thanks, but I'm still no wiser. The link to the BFG site looked promising ... I'd been poking around there for an hour looking for instructions ... but it wasn't for my sling/rifle combination. And I still can't access or find that PDF instructions gateway. Where is it on the site SVP?
 
Merci ...

Thanks guys,

I guess I'm trying to do a "traditional" two-point mount.

I live in a remote mountain area of SW Alberta so (with only dial-up) YouTube isn't an option.

Glen, your pics help a bit. Is that the same sling as mine? Mine has a single slidable "male" fastener and fabric "keeper" around the two strands at one end (the butt end I now know, thanks to you) and at the other front end there's a fixed male fastener, a double bar-tack, a female fastener one cm away, a ladder-loc, a slide adjuster, a fabric "keeper", a ladder-loc (all these items jammed into seven inches!!) and then it becomes single-strand and finally another ladder-loc with one strand (of the two coming from the butt-end) sewn to its middle.

Whew!!

The rifle is a basic Stag 4R with fixed non-swivelling swivels in the two "traditional" spots ... one downward-facing at the rear of the standard butt-stock and the other downward-facing at the front of the standard handguard.

It appears to my friends and me (after much contemplation) that I still need two more parts ... female connectors with short straps and ladderlocs ... to attach semi-permanently to the rifle's two swivels. Am I right?

The previous pics are the BFG VCAS.

I don't have a SOC-C but do have a UDC set up in a single point.

Yes you need adaptors.
Check out http://www.oneshottactical.com/merc...CTGY&Store_Code=oneshot&Category_Code=SL-BFGA

Given your stated requirement for using the attached swivels you want 2x BFG Fem. Adaptor For Fixed Sling Loops

or if you wanted to have the sling mounted on the side you could use:

Front - BFG Fem. Adaptor For The M4/M16 Foregrip
Buttstock - BFG Fem. Adaptor Band For M16A1 Fixed Buttstocks

Thanks again

Hi Glen,

Mystery solved! Thank you again for confirming what we were trying to sort out.

I did buy the sling from One Shot Tactical. There was no mention of the need for additional parts ... I guess they assumed (for some reason) that I already had the other parts. A minor oversight ... but it makes the extra shipping cost an annoying and unnecessary PITA ...
